During #CaringandKindnessWeek in February, Rydal students' word of the month was "compassion". Kindergarten students worked together to sew blankets that were donated to the NICU at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. This week, they received a thank you from the staff there, along with a photo of their blankets in use. #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning
